Angela Neary helps people dealing with anxiety, depression and stress. She supports those coping with trauma, addiction and relationship problems. She also works with issues around self-esteem, grief, parenting and career change.

Angela is a BACP-registered counsellor with 20 years' experience in mental health work. Her manner is warm and interactive. Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical.

Angela listens without judgement and helps people find answers that suit their life.

Background and approach

She avoids labels and treats each person as an individual. Her background includes community mental health improvement work alongside social care and social work teams. Since qualifying in 2005 she has worked with adults across a wide age range.

That experience informs how she supports people with long-term and changing problems. Angela uses a mix of client-centred and cognitive behavioural approaches. She also draws on mindfulness and solution-focused ideas when helpful.

The aim is to adapt the method to the person's needs rather than fitting the person to a single model. In therapy she helps people identify patterns, try small changes and build coping skills. Sessions can include practical tools for stress, techniques to manage mood and a focus on clearer communication.

The emphasis is on collaboration and steady progress. People who want a caring, no-nonsense counsellor often seek her out. She offers approachable support for life changes, recovery from trauma and rebuilding confidence.

Angela’s style is patient, respectful and goal-focused.

How Angela's approaches work online

Angela often draws on client-centred therapy, which focuses on listening carefully and helping the person lead the direction of sessions. This approach is useful when someone needs an empathetic space to make sense of difficult feelings and decide what matters to them.

She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. CBT offers practical tools and short exercises that people can try between sessions to manage mood, reduce anxiety and change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Angela will discuss options and try methods that fit a person's goals and preferences. Decisions are collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or other commitments while keeping continuity of care with a registered professional.
